How difficult is this to install? Are installation instructions included?

They simply need to activate the telephone, no different from the BMW kit in terms of coding.

There are a few different ways for installation - it can even be plugged into the trunk for be up and running in minutes using the CD Changer or Sirius lines. Proper installation would be behind the dash.

Is there a thorough description of the iPod functionality - is there a limit on the number of artists, albums, tracks, etc. that can be displayed? Does it function the same as the OEM iPod MOST kit, through the CD changer interface? How does it compare in speed to the OEM MOST kit?

I remember talking to you back when you were doing your OEM retrofit in the beginning, there is no reason dealers need to be charging the amount of hours you were quoted. This should take no longer than 60-90 minutes for the novice DIY.

With the iPod integration, phone compatibility list & updating capabilities I can't see why anyone would ever want to go the OEM route.

Thanks for the reply! Regarding the e65: my father has a 2004 745i. The iDrive looks ancient compared to the more modern revisions. I know the website lists support for the e65 from 2002-2005, but I would like to "hear" it from you haha.

My question is: will this update the iDrive look on older iDrive models? I can imagine how the address books will be accessed; however, I just wonder how the music will be accessed on the iDrive since there is no function really for AUX or music selection on the older iDrive.

Yes, the mObridge is compatible with earlier ASK systems. Your e9x system is CCC, which is why it has a slightly different look.

AUX as well as other features are selectable via the user interface on the device itself.
